Section 115
Section 115.500  Program
Description
a)         This Subpart details those requirements specific to the Host
Family Living Arrangements Program (traditional care model and shared living
model) beyond the basic CILA requirements.
b)         The Host Family Living Arrangement Program consists of two
major program components, the Traditional Care Model and the Shared Living
Model.
1)         Traditional Care Model
Host family
living arrangements, traditional care models are 24-hour residential
alternatives to typical shift staff arrangements.  The setting is the residence
for the person with a developmental disability and the full-time residence for
the paid caregivers.  It is owned, leased, or rented by the paid caregivers.
In traditional care settings, host families consist of one or more persons who
are unrelated to the individual with a developmental disability and who are
under contract with the CILA agency to provide host family services.
2)         Shared Living Model
Host family
living arrangements, shared living models are also 24-hour residential
alternatives to typical shift staff arrangements.  The setting is the residence
for the person with a developmental disability and may house either full or
part-time caregivers in which more than 50 percent of the residential coverage
is provided by individuals other than shift employees.  It is owned, leased, or
otherwise controlled by either the individual, the caregivers, or the agency.
In shared living models, host families consist of one or more persons who are
unrelated to the individual with a developmental disability and who are under
contract or employed by the CILA agency to provide host family services.
3)         The difference between traditional care and shared living
models is that, in the shared living model, shift employees of the CILA agency
routinely share supervision, care and training responsibilities with the host
family caregivers who are providing services under contract.
